Cameron Young Wins 2026 Players Championship Trophy—After Admitting He and His Wife ‘Couldn’t Afford’ a Florida Home

Golf pro Cameron Young has won the 2026 Players Championship trophy, bringing his career to new heights—after previously confessing that he and his wife couldn't afford to buy a home in Florida.

The 28-year-old took home the prestigious trophy on March 15, and made sure to thank his wife, Kelsey Dalition, for working "so incredibly hard" on their home life so he can "chase [his] dreams."

After winning the trophy, Young told Golf Channel, "None of this is possible without my wife Kelsey and my family. She works incredibly hard on all of our behalf. I mean, it's constant. They travel all the time, so she holds up that part of it at home, and does it all on my behalf, so I can go do my job and chase my dreams."

Although the couple's life has changed dramatically since Young became one of golf's most-watched players, their home life wasn't always an easy swing.

Young and Dalition, who tied the knot in 2021, previously resided at the athlete's parents' house as they waited for his career to take off.

"We've been living with our parents the whole time," Young previously told Golf Digest.

In January 2022, the athlete, who hails from New York, confessed that they still couldn't afford to move to Jupiter, FL, which is home to many golfers.

However, as he found success in his career, Young and Dalition were finally able to make the move.

"We said, 'That's enough, we're gonna buy something.' In Jupiter right now, it's like open house Saturday, sold on Monday, so we closed on Monday of Honda [Classic] week," he revealed in March 2022.

Young and Dalition have three children: Henry, John and Vivienne.

Young and Dalition welcomed Henry while they were still living at the golfer's parents' home, a move that he revealed made him realize the importance of family.

He noted that coming home to his wife, parents, and young son helped him "forget about golf."

"I have spent a lot of time with my family, my wife. We have a little baby, so spent a lot of family time, which has been great. Honestly, they've been out with me the last couple weeks and it's been such a nice change of pace to be with them on the road," he told Golf Digest in March 2022.

Young added, “I think it just keeps you a little fresher. You get off the course and you can kind of forget about golf a little bit, which is really nice." 

Young and Dalition said "I do" when he was 23 years old, shortly after he went pro in 2019. Young made his Korn Ferry Tour debut in 2020. He then garnered his first professional win while playing at the AdventHealth Championship.

Before meeting Dalition, Young resided in Briarcliff Manor, NY, and played golf at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, where his dad was the head golf professional.
